This is all Running2Ks fault ;o) She started with a post 4 states you've lived in and then commented about me sleeping in more states than her... so here's the proof... Here's all the states that I have slept in... Alabama - probably. As a kid my parents drove all night on our family vacations to go to FL from LA. It would have been a short time sleeping in that state as we drove threw the very bottom part. Arizona - No, but I've been there while visiting NV. Someone talked us into going to Laughlin. BAH! I think that I baked part of myself. Arkansas - Yes, on a Church trip to see the Christ of the Ozarks play. California - Yes, more than once on vacations Colorado - live there Florida - used to live there Georgia - yes, while someone else was driving through the state. Hawaii - yes, on vacation! Aloha Baby! Idaho - yes, on the way to WA Kansas - yes, my great grandfather lived there and we visited him many times Louisiana - yes, unfortunately I was born there Maryland - no, but drove through Michigan - yes, last July Mississippi - yes, see the AL car trips Nebraska - yes, as a kid on the way to SD Nevada - yes, been to Vegas numerous times...once while pregnant (NOT RECOMMENDED!) North Carolina - yes, Asheville (to see the Biltmore Estate) Ohio - no... at least I don't think so. I might have napped in the car. Oklahoma - yes, that's a sleepy state Oregon - probably, drove threw Pennsylvania - Yes and I went to Kennywood too! {when I lived in WV I over heard a kid exclaim that "I bet everyone in the whole wide world has been to Kennywood!" Well at that time, I hadn't been. But I figured if everyone else had been that I had better go there quickly. jk} South Dakota - yes, I have relatives there Tennessee - yes Texas - oh yes, we lived there Utah - yes and let me tell you that after living to the east of the Rocky Mtns for many years and driving at night to get to Salt Lake...waking up with the Rockys on the "wrong" side of you is very very weird!!! Virginia - yes, in the car again Washington - yes, we had to drive our car to WA so it could be shipped to Korea. West Virginia - yes, I lived there... in my past life (no, I'm not crazy. I call everything that happened before I met DH, my past life.) Wyoming - yes, we lived there... Darly was born there. UPDATE: I forgot about the following states: Montana - family vacation New Mexico - driving threw very NE corner from TX to CO South Carolina - probably didn't sleep, but drove threw I know that I promised a list of my birthday gifts for this week's 13, but they're still coming... DH & Darly got me some candy and a candle, so far. I'm not too sure what's up with the candy from DH though... I thought that he wanted me to be thinner (as if that's ever gonna happen!) I'm also to get to go out for dinner tomorrow night. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. squashedtoad 2. ivoryfrog 3. Lisa 4. phoenix 5. Lazy Daisy 6. Kat 7. D 8. Running2Ks 9.

Sleeping around, you're a nut! What a fun idea for a 13!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday by the way. I'm a dork. What did you do?
Oh, I'm up!
ReplyDeleteGreat list -- I'll have to get out a map and see if I've even been to 13 states! :)
ReplyDeleteMy 13 are up!
Wow, you sure 'get around'!
ReplyDeleteHere are my 13
Good grief, you've been to a lot of places! I'm jealous! LOL. Thanks for stopping by!

Oklahoma is a sleepy state? Uh yeah, I'm always up for a good power nap. hehe
ReplyDeleteOh no I would hate to start this list for myself, I think I would leave like 3 states out...Happy Belated Birthday fellow Cap
ReplyDeleteI think it might be easier to list the states you haven't slept in!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the TT thing, although I avidly read Jen's every week. I enjoy reading your comments there too. :-)
BTW, my blogger ID is just for my "bad witch" blog, but if you want to see that, ok. My TT is up at Xanga (http://www.xanga.com/immax3)
OMG, you are worse that some politicians! LOL
ReplyDeleteI bow to the master, I'm not worthy!
My 13 are up :)
Here are my 13.
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited nearly that many states.
That's a great theme, Renee.
ReplyDeleteMy list is similar, Rene. Dad was a sailor during "Nam. I've wandered on my own a good share. Never been to California or Alabama though. Does sleeping on a plane as you may have flown over count?
ReplyDeletelogging in
ReplyDeleteInteresting list.
ReplyDeleteWhen were you in Korea. I spent 16 months of my life at Camp Humphries in Korea.
I know I am late but I finally got my 13 up at http://www.20six.co.uk/Enigma

ReplyDeletethat is a lotta places.

I haven't been to even half o those states...lol
ReplyDeleteKat
Wow! I'm so lame - I haven't been to that many at ALL! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI linked you! Thanks for linking me! I think I've slept in about as many states as you have. I'll have to get out a map, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of sleep time! I guess sleeping makes the time traveling go by faster though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my list!
All: Glad that y'all enjoyed the topic. It was kinda fun doing the research for it. I sat down with my map and for some had to look at the interstates... Ya know, I think that I forgot that I've slept in MT too... did I forget that one? Gotta check.
ReplyDeleteGonna have to think of another good topic for next week...
Renee - You are very well traveled. I'm expecting to see Renee Slept Here signs next time I'm on vaction.
ReplyDeleteDamn, you've got me beat. I've been to more foreign countries than I have US states. All for work, pre-kids, of course.
ReplyDeleteI did notice you do a lot of sleeping the car. Lucky you. I would love to sleep on long road trips, but if makes me barf. Blech.
I'm going to have to count my states too! Fun post :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been to a ton of states! All the states I've been to are all right next to each other.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me!
Wow...that's quite a list. I think mine would be long too. We've done a lot of moving around and car trips.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend:)
Wow! you have slept in a heck of a lot of states!! I've slept in a few (I enjoyed Arizona, but I went there during the cooler time of the year).
ReplyDelete:)
Ohmigoodness! You get around :p
ReplyDeleteI don't even think I've slept that much!
I can't believe you haven't been to Indiana...hello! Farmland, construction, the Colts (says Jacob), IU/PU/ND football and,of course, BASKETBALL (again, from Jacob)...the home of Michael Jackson...don't let that be the reason you don't visit!!! :D
New to blogging and TT...I'm in love!
My list is up.
Oh yeah! Happy Belated Birthday!!!
